Official waiver in Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Nets have waived forward Aaron Scott, effective September 21, leaving him without an NBA team after a waiver transaction that confirms his exit from the main roster. The move is official and fits the usual preseason routine for players tied to G League development paths.
The transaction appears in NBA.com oficial and was reported by Hoops Rumors, which places the cut on the same day Brooklyn had signed Scott in the usual dynamic of controlling affiliate rights.
Scott profile
Scott, a 6-foot-7 forward out of North Texas and St. John's, returns to the NBA environment after going undrafted in 2025. The 23-year-old spent last season in the G League with Boston's Maine affiliate, averaging 6.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 40 games on 45.8% shooting.
Hoops Rumors confirms the official waiver and places Scott among the profiles who could continue their path with G League affiliate Long Island Nets while his next step as a free agent is defined.
What the waiver means
By leaving the Nets main roster, Scott no longer occupies a preseason spot and becomes a free agent until his fit within the project is defined. The move does not necessarily signal a break with Brooklyn, but rather the usual path between a training camp contract and a G League or market destination.
For Brooklyn, the cut fits the development structure the Nets are consolidating before training camp, prioritizing G League rights control rather than locking roster spots on the main NBA team.
Roster context
Scott's waiver comes in September, within the procedural wave before training camp. The transaction repeats the dynamic the Nets have used with other camp profiles in this market window, on the same day they also moved DJ Rodman and reinforced their structure with Nick Pringle.
